Day ... something of 80 day obsession. I’m going to be very honest. I’m so frustrated. I finally feel like I’ve found something that I clicked with - physically and emotionally. I was in it! I was doing the daily workouts. I was eating right! And I was seeing results! 🎉
This pain, chronic injury I have in my back (right under the left shoulder blade) has been so discouraging. It has totally prevented me from doing the workouts because I can’t sustain a plank for the movements in the program, I worry about form in lifting weights, and even without bearing weight, a sharp stabbing pain can happen! 🔪y’all... I’ve cried over this. The disappointment I’ve felt is so real. In the past, I’ve felt like a failure because I didn’t have the discipline to complete something. This time, I feel like a failure because I’m having to pump the brakes literally halfway through this awesome program because my body feels like it has betrayed me and let me down. 😔 CAN YOU SAY DRAMMAAAAATIC??? lol I am disappointed but also I am so stubborn. so I’m working on finding a balance. It’s hard to let go of doing these workouts because I feel so strong 💪🏼 when I do them! So. I’m going to do the lower body exercises that don’t aggravate anything, and go from there 🙏🏻 For now, I’m putting on my game face and tackling my Monday workout of the day ❤️ #80dayobsession#80daysofican#80daysofiwill#teambeachbody#autumncalabrese#fitnessmotivation#healthyfood#workout#selflove#treatyoself#sweateveryday#strongereveryday#fitnessmotivation#fitinspo#stronggirls#beachbody#selfloveisthebestlove#determination#motivationmonday

✖️I got asked to share with one of my coaches group of challengers what my best tips and strategies are for fitting in my workouts and timed nutrition while working 12 hour shifts! #nurselife 👩🏻‍⚕️
-
There are other nurses and healthcare workers in her group, and OBVI I was more than happy to share what I’ve learned and how I make it work!! 🤩
-
Working 12 hour shifts, especially overnights like I’m doing now, is so challenging!! Not just during your 12 ((and usually more)) hours of work, but also how you live before and after your long shifts!
-
It makes me so incredibly sad to see so many nurses and healthcare workers take SUCH GOOD CARE of their patients, and families, day in and day out >>> yet, when it comes to their own health, they always fall last on their list 💔😔
-
It’s SO EASY to think you don’t have time to add anything else to your already busy and exhausting plate, which is why so many don’t even give themselves the chance!!
-
I will NEVER say it’s easy, but it is SO POSSIBLE!!!
-
If you’re a shift worker and you’re ready to give yourself the chance to put YOU first 😘 then reach out, babe!!! Even if you just START with your days off, something is always better than nothing!! And the tools I have can 100% HELP YOU in so many ways!!
-
This bright yellow drink is one of them 😉⚡️✊🏼
-
I’d love to share them with you and then help support you on your new journey of loving yourself and taking care if yourself!! YOU DESERVE IT!!! For real, let’s chat!! No strings attached 😘❤️ at Raleigh, North Carolina

How many times a day do you hear your name? As a Mama of 4, it can seem never ending! 😅 Here’s an easy and effective way to squeeze in a workout—next time you hear your minis call for you again, squeeze in 10 squats! Just make sure you set a timer or you’ll be squatting all day!! 😆❤️

Happy Monday! I’m posting this to hold myself accountable 👊🏼 tbh I haven’t meal prepped in probably almost 5 months 😳😶 I know I’m a little embarrassed but oh well life happens 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m finally feeling settled in my new apartment & city so that’s a relief 😌 I’m a person who likes routine but somehow I’ve found myself tracking macros on & off for the past year. I’m attempting to stick with it this time around though because when I do track my body feels great. I gave up bread for lent and I’m not even missing it 🍞 ok maybe I’m missing pizza a little (lot). I prepped tons of protein this week because I find that it’s the hardest macro to hit. Here I have @traderjoes chili lime chicken burgers (a little burnt lol), chicken, sweet 🍠 & regular 🥔 fries, salmon, shrimp, hard boiled eggs & mushrooms. I have spinach for salads & will be getting some more veggies tomorrow when I hit up the store. Does anyone else find it hard to hit their daily fiber goal or is it just me!? 🤔 if you have food suggestions with a decent amount of fiber plz help ya girl out!! Ok didn’t mean for this post to be so long so if you’re still reading this thanks 😊👋🏼

I am so grateful to @connieartmouse who introduced Estella to the love of art several years ago. Tonight she won 2nd place in the @kiwanis art showcase. The proudest moment as her mom was seeing her cheer on her art friends, who also won awards. Love this sweet girl and her spirit. ❤ #stronggirls#art

Fuck hexagon plates 😭
I couldn’t use my belt cus I ate too much 😅. I had chipotle then some McDonald’s. Then some McDonald’s again for preworkout ... I shoulda skipped that mcchicken...
Tried to make this set pretty for da gram and because my 4 sets before we’re super ugly. I was taking off my belt mid set and I touch and go to not have to deal with rolypoly plates .. I’m sure my back rounded on those sets too. At least dis one was just the last two 😇 at Brooklyn, New York

Remember how important it is to lead by example. Remember that little girls are always looking up to you. Remember that little girls are always watching what you do. And remember that you used to be that little girl! 💛 #TLTQTRIBE
